i miss the Devils in HD... but i cant justify going back to CV after the crap i went through with them...

hopefully SOMETHING happens this off season... but whatever

I have to go back to cablevision. It sucks. Having had both Fios is by far a better cable/net company.

Apparently the appeal was heard in February regarding MSG HD on FiOS and other Cablevision competitors that want MSG HD: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-TV-Programming/MSG-HD/td-p/290823

Hoping next season we have MSG HD....

My wife heard something about this on the radio the other day as well, but I couldn't find anything on it. I need tos tick with Comcast because of the dependability and speed of the internet connection, but I'd love to give up webcasts for HD in my living room at some point.

Another update on this front finally.

An appeals court affirmed the FCC's new rules that would force Cablevision to sell MSG HD, denying Cablevision's appeal. The court only tweaked the new rules slightly saying that rather than the FCC being able to assume all withheld channels are unfair, complainants about withheld channels have to show that such withholding is an unfair advantage on an individual channel basis.

Hopefully this will get things moving now....
